Not So Retro Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 As I was driving home today everything was so bright and cheerful after the recent rain. The council workers have been out in force, everything is freshly mown and green and the blossom trees looked so pretty. This week wasn't as crazy as last week but I'm sure glad to be home on this lovely afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not So Retro Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 So glad I bought petrol on Friday night on the way home from the hairdressers. When I headed out to shop earlier I noticed it had gone up from 119.9 a litre to 160.9 for E10, ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethlehem Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Something that made me happy on the weekend is my mother asking a priest if he wrote pornography. Hilarious. Not sleazy as it sounds. Long story. He’s going to be so important in the next few months. He already feels like a part of the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not So Retro Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I noticed my bin hadn't been emptied when I left for work this morning but saw there were some maggots crawling on it. Resident boy wasn't working today so I messaged him to bring it in and toss a bucket of water over it. He did so much more than that, no more yukky wriggly things in sight and clean inside and out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallie Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I was looking for this thread, glad it's jumped back into the actives. The other day I had two really nice random interactionsFirst, when I was walking all the kids to school we stopped at the road and waited for a car that was coming to go past. As they went past the lady driving called out to me "you must be a great mum" Then, after we went to the doctors for the poor 2yo gunky ear, we went to the pharmacist for antibiotics and the pharmacist there as I was paying said something very similar. It was nice to hear. The kids, credit to them, were behaving very well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not So Retro Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 This, which I bought off Gumtree for $25. The seller said it was probably worth hundreds as it is inlaid with gemstones and shells. I believe her, as I just found a brand new one on ebay for $650 starting bid or $900 Buy It Now. Australia appears to be NZ Paua shell (Abalone?)

Catzilla Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I usually work on Friday mornings, but not today since Woolworths is closed. Appreciated the opportunity for a Friday morning sleep in (if you call 6:30 a sleep in, when I normally get up at 4:30 for work on a Friday).

ContentedFleur Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Technically, this made me happy yesterday, but it's still making me happy now, so here goes:my kids are away (one at camp, one at grandparents) so after work I Went Shopping and am now the proud owner of new boots, sandals, walking shoes, jeans, long sleeve tops, tracky dacks, hoodies, and a travel guide to Tasmania, as we're on holiday next week in Hobart. And because it was Easter Tuesday, I got the last day of the Easter sales at Myer, meaning that quite a lot of my purchases were heavily reduced- my shorts were reduced from $60 to $2! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not So Retro Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I love my little team. Even with our manager on leave this week and a co-worker interstate for a funeral until tomorrow, we are managing by pulling together and supporting each another. We are normally 5 guys and 2 gals, with ages from early 20s to 50s, but we all get on so well. Down times are fun with this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
